Dueling rallies for Israel and Palestine held in Skokie
CHICAGO -- There were dueling rallies in Skokie Sunday, with one showing solidarity with Israel and another protesting the country's actions in Gaza. The event in support of Israel, organized by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, took place inside Ateres Ayala while a pro-Palestinian protest took place outside. They say the ultimate goal of the pro-Israel event is to encourage a peaceful coexistence when it comes to multiple faith-based groups.
'We live in a country where there is supposed to be plurality of beliefs and that we're united together, especially in times of pain and suffering and tragedy. So that's why we are here tonight.' Those outside supporting Palestine also spoke about their reason for their protest. 'The reason why we decided to come here today is in response to the rally in there,' said Harem Abudayyeh, national chair of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network.
